St. John's Prep deploys campus-wide Bluesocket virtual wireless LAN from Adtran

Jun 13, 2012 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Cloud connectivity specialist Adtran, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN) announced that St. John's Prep in Danvers, Massachusetts, has implemented Adtran's virtual wireless LAN (vWLAN) solution with Adtran's Bluesocket 1800 series 802.11n access points across its entire 175-acre campus, located 15 miles northeast of Boston.

The deployment enables teachers and students to use the entire campus as a classroom with Wi-Fi enabled devices keeping everything connected.

Focused on creating an atmosphere that fosters intellectual growth, St. John's Prep, a Xaverian Brothers sponsored secondary school for young men, is dedicated to preparing all of its 1,200 students to take full advantage of today's technology resources and encourages the use of Wi-Fi enabled devices in the curriculum. The faculty is also leveraging web-based technology in the teaching process, and the school has launched ongoing digital learning initiatives that require a highly scalable, reliable Wi-Fi infrastructure. To help meet its current needs and provide the scalability required to handle future growth, St. John's Prep turned to Adtran to help architect the ideal solution for the campus, students and faculty.

"We looked at other solutions, but all of them required additional hardware which added significant cost and operational burden to our IT staff's resources. Since Adtran's vWLAN solution is certified as VMware Ready, the installation of the vWLAN software on to our VMware instance was quick and effortless," said Christopher Butler, director of information services at St. John's Prep. "In the end, we achieved significant savings by avoiding all costs and bottlenecks associated with a hardware-based controller solution and gained a future-proof network with immense scalability to address growing demand on our network."
